Mr.

Beckett deserves much credit apart from
the great humour of his pages, for the fidelity with
which he has adhered to the facts of history: so that
whilstwe laugh, andlaugh heartily, we are insensibly im-
bibing
knowledge of a subject not always the most
attractive to the general reader. We dare assume that
many who would fear to seek an acquaintance with

through the stately introduction of a Clarendon, vvould
not hesitate to accept the less dignified assistance of our
Comic Historian. The artist has ably seconded the his-
torian. The burlesque of Mr. Leech is peculiarly his
own
;
for, amid the incongruities in which he seems to
revel, objects of beauty, and
much evidenceof purpose,
arealwaysdiscernable."

Experience, extending over twenty years, enables them to o5er many advantagesin quality and price. In large
Mercantile Establishments, the Stationery Department, whilst it involves a considerable outlay, and interferes
greatly with the comfort of those employed, seldom receives
the attention which its importance demands,
from the fact of few Stationers having combined under one Establishment, Printing
in LETTER-PRESS.

humbly solicit a small portion of public patronage, assuring those houses who may favour them
with their confidence, that all orders
will be executed with the greatest dispatch, and with strict attention to
the beauty of the work, and also with a desire to exchange or take

thorough approbation.-Upwards of one hundred banking-houses are supphed from

Ectract from the REPORT
of
the
DIRECTORS,presented to the THIRTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING
of
MEMBERS,
held a:
the
London Tavern, Bishopsgate Street, December 15, 1848.
SAMUEL HAYHURST LUCAS, ESQ.. IN THE CHAIR.
The Directors have much pleasure in laying before the Members, in their Thirteenth Annual Report, the following
statement of the business of the Institution during the past year
:-
In that period
1673
proposals for assurance have been submitted to the Board
;
of these.
1423
have been accepted,
and policies
thereonissued, the annual premiums on which amount
to
324,475
5s.
ad.
;
137
more havebeenaccepted,
but the policies have not been completed; the remaining
113
proposals the directors have deemed it prudent
to decline.
The annual income has increased to
6126,232 7s. 6d.,
notwithstanding the reduction on premiums, amounting
to
the sum of
%10,716 3s. 6d.,
allowed to those members who choose this mode of appropriating the profits.
The total amount of bonuses assigned in
1847,
to policies on which the original prenliums continue to be paid,
is
837,834 4s.,
in addition to the sums assigned in
1842.
The accounts to the 20th November last have been duly audited
;
the balance of receipts over disbursements for
the gear is
672,855 19s. 3d.,
making the capital
stock
of
the Institution at that date
&440,028 15s.
Sd.,
which is
invested in real and government securities.
The sums paid for claims on policies of deceased members from the commencement of the Institution, including
the bonuses assigned thereto, amount to
8111,339 10s. Id.,
of which,
816,260 10s.
has been paid within the last
twelve months, and the sum of
67,749,
not yet applied for, remains due on Lhis account.
The foregoing summary, exhibiting such successful results in the short space
of
thirteen pears, attests both the
prosperity and usefulness of the Institution, and the peculiar advantages afforded by the entirely Mutual
System of
Assurance on which it is founded.
The following instances illustrate the Reduction in Premiums and equivalent Bonuses
on
Policies in Class
9,
payable at death.

the action of the
pyroligneous and other vegetable acids upon an iron cylinder, and the consequent reaction of
the acetates of iron upon the Coffee are prevented, and being also Patentees of the apparatus for preserving
Coffee during the roasting from the sulphurous and noxious vapours of the fire have learned with much
regret, that it is the intention of the principals of some establishments to pack
;nd sell their i~on-roasted
Coffee in glass bottles on a similar principle to that adopted by Dakin and Compy, for the
supplying
of thelr
ROYAL PATENT COFFEE ROASTED in SILVER CYLINDERS. Dakin and Compy, respectfully beg,the
attention of the Public to the fact that their name and the contents of the bottles supplied by them are ralsed
on the glass, and that the bottles are corked down air-tight and sealed with the Royal Arms, in addition to
which are raised on the seal the words "Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee,"
and
